Artists open their doors Oak Bay Artists’ Studio Tour returns for 12th year Laura Lavin News staff
Oak Bay artists will open their doors to visitors this weekend for the annual Oak Bay Artists’ Studio Tour. During this 12th year, 22 of Oak Bay’s established and emerging artists will use their homes and studios as backdrops to display the products of their creativity in a variety of original watercolour, acrylic, oil, fibre, photographic, woodcut, glass and pottery creations. The juried tour, which is produced by Recreation Oak Bay, will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. “I enjoy it very 5 and 6, from noon to 4:30 p.m. Education is a key factor in artist much. It gives me Jean Betts’ decision to join the studio tour. “I’ve been on (the tour) for a real sense of about three years,” she said. “I’m a community.” weaver. I weave, spin, dye and now – Claire Christinel I’m teaching beginning weaving.” Textiles is an art that needs explanation, she said. “It’s really neat to interact with the public and also give them an idea of where textiles come from. I’ve been weaving, spinning and dyeing for almost 40 years – I hate to admit that,” she said. “Textiles is always an education thing, people have no idea. I spin at public events and a lot of children don’t know where fibre comes from – with weaving and spinning, education is sort of the bottom line.” Betts’ decorative and useful textiles will be featured at her home studio at 2215 Florence St. “I enjoy it very much,” said artist Claire Christinel, who will feature her still life and West Coast landscape oils and acrylics in her studio at 2347 Hamiota St. “It gives me a real sense of community. Neighbours, people your kids went to school with, people from all over come. Many people who have moved from other places in Canada (come). It gives them the opportunity to go around the community.” While many of this year’s participants have not yet achieved household-name status, some can claim international recognition, including Christinel.

have found that a common denominator is our Official Community Plan. It hasn’t been fully reviewed and updated for almost 14 years. It sets our vision and drives our decision making as we head further into the 21st century and covers current issues such as population density, transportation and zoning.
How do you hope to solve it? The Community Plan is an important guiding document for both council and residents alike. I would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to take a leadership role in its revision by seeking community input – what we like about the current plan and how would we like to see it evolve to meet our future vision. What has council done well this term? We have
been fortunate to have had a council that works well together. The vast majority of issues have been agreed to unanimously, but when divisive issues have come up the current council has been able to voice their thoughts in a respectful atmosphere.
What would you do on council to improve it?
I like to research issues, look to see the big picture, and strive for tax-saving efficiencies. I believe in a high degree of community involvement and would like to provide more opportunities for low-stress, open dialogue before decisions are made at the council level.

What is your single biggest issue this election? Items
related to the Official Community Plan: Kevin Murdoch suites, density, long-term planning, financials, etc. Deer have surprised me by being a huge issue as well.
How do you hope to solve it? After several hundred conversations, I am convinced we can create a plan for Oak Bay that can be endorsed by the VAST majority of our residents. People in our community are all very supportive of reasonable, practical, and financially responsible solutions to our issues, and to long-term planning What has council done well this term? Mayor Christopher Causton (and much of council) has, over the last 10-15 years, engaged stakeholders related to Oak Bay: not just residents, but also the broader regional communities. Oak Bay has become a more community-minded and vibrant place, as well as a more engaged participant in regional discussions through their work. That should be continued. What would you do on council to improve it?
Address issues more head-on, strive for more clarity and simplicity in our bylaws and rules, work toward reducing our longterm operational costs, keep engaging residents, staff and businesses to ensure a culture of open dialogue.

What is your single biggest issue this election?
Keeping property taxes affordable in the face of increasing costs and infrastructure demands, while realizing our vision of a livable, sustainable community.
How do you hope to solve it? In this next term, Oak Bay will update its Official Community Plan. This will be a citizen-driven process that will give us a plan so that we can prioritize projects and keep a cap on increasing costs. What has council done well this term?
We supported and hosted community celebrations like Tara Ney Oak Bay Tea Party, car show, pocket markets, Halloween bonfire, pumpkin carving contest, and the many marathons that make their way through our community. These events both showcase our community and help build positive connections with neighbours and families.
What would you do on council to improve it?
People are frustrated with the way council has been engaging and communicating with them. We need to improve communications by including more diverse representation on council-appointed committees, support neighbourhood associations, and ensure regular communication with the public using town halls and an interactive website.
What is your single biggest issue this election?
Need for more open and transparent local government decision-making, including much better communication and information-sharing by Oak Bay council with its residents.
How do you hope to solve it? Advocating for improvements to use of electronic and print media for public informationsharing (streamline the website, quarterly municipal newsletter, full agenda packages, including staff reports) made available to the public through the municipal website prior to council meetings and in hard copy at council meetings and regular neighbourhood and town hall meetings scheduled throughout each calendar year. Expand use of volunteer committees and develop a public consultation model. What has council done well this term? Preservation of parkland and the Green Map.
What would you do on council to improve it?
Diversify council appointments to CRD committees, ensure Cairine Green all internal council information-sharing is open and inclusive, work collaboratively with all staff to ensure staff development is focused on public service excellence.

Coroner’s report confirms woman drowned herself Laura Lavin News staff
Mary Grant died as a result of suicide, said B.C. Coroner Stan Lajoie, in a report released to the Oak Bay News this week. Grant spoke to Oak Bay Police Const. Bill Bellwood just hours before the 67-year-old woman’s body was discovered on McNeill Bay Beach March 2. Grant first came to the attention of Oak Bay Police when a resident reported an elderly woman walking on Victoria Avenue in her housecoat around 2 a.m. Bellwood found Grant, who was wearing a long coat, and spoke to her. “She said she quite often went out for a walk during the night,” said Deputy Chief Kent Thom at the time. Bellwood was convinced Grant didn’t need a ride home and wasn’t acting strangely. A search through police records revealed no history of mental illness or run-ins with police, Thom said.
The Oak Bay resident’s lifeless body was discovered at 11:15 a.m. by two people walking along the beach. The cause of death is listed as drowning by walking into the ocean. The report also listed severe osteoarthritis as a significant condition contributing to her death. “Often, when the case is reported, we go to the scene and examine it and speak to the next of kin. If we haven’t spoken to family, the first call is to the family physician. In Mary Grant’s case, her medical history, where she was found, her emotional well being would all factor in,” said Vancouver Island Regional Coroner Matt Brown. “The coroner is involved in all sudden and unexpected deaths; by law they are required to be reported,” said Brown. The coroner is responsible for determining the identity of the deceased, how, when, where and by what means they died. It is a fact-finding, rather than fault-finding agency. editor@oakbaynews.com

An elderly man was duped of $4,700 in an email scam. The 73-year-old called police on Oct. 26 when he noticed the amount missing from his bank account. He explained he had received an email, purportedly from TD Canada Trust, that said his bank account needed to be re-activated by entering personal and banking information. “Police wish to advise the public that no banking institution will solicit this type of information purportedly to re-activate an account. Should you receive any similar request, you are advised to contact your bank to confirm the legitimacy of any such request,” said Sgt. Ray Maxwell.

Poor driving moves set cops on suspected drunk drivers Erin Cardone News staff
Oak Bay police nabbed two drunk drivers in one night. Last Thursday (Oct. 27), an officer saw a vehicle make an illegal U-turn on Oak Bay Avenue just after midnight. The car was pulled over and the 28-year-old driver was given a breathalyzer test after showing signs of impairment. He blew a “fail,” indicating his blood alcohol was more than 0.08 per cent. Two hours later, an officer stopped a driver that made a wide turn from Haultain Street onto
Epworth Street, then drove onto the wrong side of the road. When the officer pulled over the driver – another 28-year-old man – he noticed the driver had vomited on himself in the car. The driver blew a “fail” in a breathalyzer test. Both earned themselves a 90-day driving ban, a 30-day impound for their cars and a $500 fine. They will each have to take a responsible driving course worth $880 and have an ignition interlock device in their vehicles for at least one year, costing about $1,600, according to the B.C. Traffic Safety Foundation. ecardone@vicnews.com

Funds finalized for new OB High Province chips in $50.1 million for $64-million project Erin Cardone News staff
A new high school and community learning centre for Oak Bay are, indeed, in the cards after the province confirmed its $50.1-million contribution to the project. “From the perspective of the community and everyone else, we’ve really been in that holding pattern (until now), circling the airport and waiting to land,” said Dave Thomson, principal of Oak Bay High. “Now we can actually land.” Not that the funding was ever in doubt, but with confirmation from the Education Ministry, Thomson said he can forge ahead with talks with community groups to move the project along. “Now it’s creating the arrangements and partnerships and understanding what that looks like, (such as with) local sports groups. Those are all conversations that I restarted yesterday, getting in touch with community players, saying now it’s for real,” Thomson said Tuesday. In terms of breaking ground on the new school, which will replace the current 1957-built structure, Thomson said, “It’s as soon as is practical.” The project is behind on its original timeline. Early last year, planners hoped to get their shovels dirty by summer or fall of this year, and have the school open to students for winter 2012. Thomson said one of his challenges is finding

Ida Chong, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, praised the plans for the new school. “This new school will be a welcome addition to the fabric of this community,” she said in a statement. “In particular, I expect the school’s neighbourhood learning centre to be a tremendous asset for Oak Bay students and families.” The centre, on the same property as the school at Cadboro Bay and Cranmore roads, would provide space for community organizations. Those details have not yet been pinned down. The municipality pledged $1 million toward the project for the current gym to be turned into a theatre and the school district added $1.4 million to increase capacity from 1,200 to 1,300 students. ecardone@vicnews.com

Student’s charity work earns scholarship Arnold Lim News staff
Imagine a five-year-old with two casts on his legs and a walker for getting around. Logan Graham remembers sitting on the sidelines and longing to play basketball, baseball – or any sport. Suffering from severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis following a diagnosis at age four, the now 17-year-old Oak Bay High graduate looks back on how those experiences helped shape his gritty determination. “I was going to either succumb to it, let it gain control of me or (I was going) to master it,” Graham said of his disease. “I learned to help myself in order to help others.” Despite 10 operations on his knees, surgery on his jaw, thumb and elbow, and a host of other treatments, Graham says he has lived a blessed life and is grateful for opportunities afforded him despite his challenges. When he recognized many

Ten years and $150,000 in donations later, Graham’s efforts have been recognized with a UCBeyond scholarship, which is given to 16 students
across Canada who excel despite dealing with inflammatory arthritis. “The scholarship takes my mind off paying the bills and helps me focus on doing things I always loved to do, things I am passionate about,” said Graham, studying business at the University of British Columbia. “It not only gave me $5,000, it gave me a huge opportunity … I began to see university as a platform where I will really get into campaigning for kids, and going through the foundation to advocate for kids who can’t advocate for themselves.” It is that selflessness that has impressed Ross Petty, professor of pediatrics in rheumatology at UBC, who believes the foundation was always about children with arthritis – and not just about Graham. “I am eternally amazed how kids put up with the misery of this disease,” Petty said. “But it doesn’t conquer them, they conquer it and are able to do
things many able-bodied kids don’t. … (Logan) will make a wave in this world.” The foundation helps with everything from getting supportive shoes and food vouchers to helping fund research. “He speaks with such conviction. He has the advocacy impulse in him. … He is a very impressive person,” Petty said. “I think we need more people like Logan and his family to accelerate the research for better treatment and cures.” In the meantime, Graham continues his studies at UBC working towards a business degree he hopes will help him to help others. “Arthritis doesn’t define who I am. I decided not to tell anyone about my arthritis because I didn’t want to be seen as the arthritis kid, I wanted to appear to be normal,” Graham said. “Those kids don’t want to be seen like that, all they want is to be seen as normal.” editor@saanichnews.com

Fines ranged from $1,000 for failing to submit a report on proper procedures for stripping asbestos-containing materials, to a $97,500 penalty to VIHA for “failure of the employer to ensure the health and safety of workers.” Three violent incidents involving VIHA took place between 2009 and 2010 in Nanaimo and Victoria. “The incidents did happen more than two years ago and in that time we have undertaken considerable work to address violence in our mental health portfolio,” said VIHA spokesperson Shannon Marshall. “We have improved from 2009 and enhanced the violence prevention policy.” The fines have since been paid and Marshall said a number of changes have been made. VIHA now has a dedicated safety advisor appointed to work on violence-related issues, a violence prevention training and education program, a risk assessment process and safety boards.
WorkSafe fines levied on Saanich-based businesses included $4,815.53 to Robert Sousa for failing to ensure workers wore safety eyewear and respiratory equipment; $2,500 to Clayton Hoff for failing to ensure the use of fall protection for workers on a sloped roof; and $2,500 to Sean Ray Staub/ Shelby roofing for a failure to ensure the use of fall protection as required. Fines are based on the nature of the violation, as well as the employer’s compliance history and payroll. Since 1999, WorkSafe B.C. has imposed 1,900 penalties totalling more than $26.7 million. editor@oakbaynews.com

OUR VIEW
New schools just the start It came as an early Christmas gift to the region but it’s also just one step in repairing a provincial education system that has appeared a little tattered as of late. Education Minister George Abbott announced earlier this week what many people have been waiting to hear for years: Belmont secondary will be replaced in a new location and a new high school will be built in Royal Bay. Abbott also confirmed that the province will help fund the replacement of Oak Bay High to the tune of $50 million. Combine that project with the budget for the West Shore schools, estimated to cost $100 million, and many local tradespeople can count on being employed for years. Replacing Belmont is long overdue. Maintenance staff in the Sooke School District have done yeoman service to keep the patchwork of buildings in safe and working order. Duct tape fixes, a long-running joke at the school, are but a minor problem. The city block-long structure needs a seismic overhaul. To the relief of school staff and district trustees, the Education Ministry wisely opted to build two schools, as opposed to a single building, which was hinted at earlier this year. A long and often frustrating lobbying campaign by trustees, superintendents, students and local politicians played no small role in swaying the highest levels of government to release capital funding. As acknowledged by Abbott, in this case the squeaky wheel does indeed get the grease. His announcement also shows the B.C. Liberals will hand out money for good projects, regardless of the political stripes of area MLAs. And that might be the bigger message. Our province once had a reputation across Canada for the quality of our education system. Sadly, after decades of political partisanship creeping into the system, B.C. no longer enjoys that reputation. It’s time to push back against any agenda that doesn’t have students as the top priority in our education system. Schools should not be built simply to impress voters and extend a government’s mandate. These institutions are vital for the future of our province and decisions affecting them are truly larger than politics. What do you think?

It’s nice to know whether your best efforts as a parent are paying off somehow, especially at times when the job of keeping your child on track with their schoolwork gets particularly tough. The other day my partner and I were commiserating about how we expect our kids to be self-motivated, at least a little bit, to get their work done without near-constant supervision. We realize parents need to provide a home environment for children to be able to succeed, and need to be available as often as possible when they ask for help. But sometimes that’s easier said than done, especially when work commitments come into play, and believe me, kids rarely ask for help. It may seem at times unfair that we rely on teachers, who spend as much time with our children as we do, to help us keep our kids on track. Given that reality, I will always argue that teachers’ work should be highly valued. That said, I am making a plea to the teachers’ union to reverse its decision on filling out report cards, at least by next term if negotiations continue to go nowhere. Hopefully, an acknowledgement of teachers’ importance in the three-way relationship that includes students and parents will convince them to do so.

OPINION
Spider-Man mantra should apply to affluent CEOs Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers (Letters, Oct. 21). This letter writer is entitled to his own opinion and there may be “nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers,” but there is everything wrong in thinking this way and cruising through life totally blind to all the suffering, poverty and injustice to those who do not have wealth and fortune attached to their namesake. Yes, many people have worked extremely hard for the things they have in life, but there are many people in this world who go hungry every single day, who live with AIDS, whose cars are their homes, or who simply sleep cold on the streets. A well-known line from the movie Spider-Man is appropriate here: “With great power comes great responsibility.” And therefore I believe all the hard workers who earn a disgusting amount for the jobs they do every day (some
justified, others not) should reach out to those in need, and do good with their affluence. Spread the love, man, not the greed. Laura Bates Victoria
Proposed pay scale needs to be shared by many more workers Re: CEOs’ hard-earned wealth should be shared with employees (Letters, Oct. 28) I agree with B. Horsfall’s letter that CEOs should share their wealth with their employees. But where is your math? Each employee should get 10 per cent of the CEO’s pay – $200,000 if the CEO gets paid $2 million? That means, ten employees will share the CEO’s wealth. But what about the other hundreds or perhaps thousands of employees? They don’t get even one extra dollar?
Readers respond: school funds An open letter to the premier on education funding Honourable Christy Clark: I support B.C. teachers. I believe they have a right to negotiate the terms and conditions of their employment. This talk of locking out teachers is ridiculous. Teachers have chosen job action that has relatively little effect on families and continue to teach our children. With talk of locking out teachers the government threatens to stop teaching our children and disrupt families. Further, children are the future of our society and should be one of our first priorities – this means proper funding for their education. As my son entered kindergarten last year I was shocked and appalled that the principal needed to ask the Parent Advisory Committee to purchase chairs for the school. Schools should be able to purchase items such as chairs and books out of the school operating funds, yet we have to fundraise for such items. As fundraising is needed to make up the slack in funding, it sets up a dynamic of haves and have nots: public schools in less affluent areas have a much harder time fundraising and end up with a much smaller budget than public schools in more affluent areas. Premier Clark, you have promised to put families first. Supporting teachers and properly funding our school system should be a prime part of your plan to put families first. I urge you to support families by supporting teachers and providing appropriate funding to schools. Conan Webb Esquimalt
Hungry, needy kids points to underlying economic issues Re: Grants cuts from program to feed needy kids (News) There were at least two things in the article that pushed me to comment. First, I take exception to the quoted statement by Tertia Yates that stigmatizes parents who receive welfare. She claims that some make an “easy trip to the pub” rather than buy enough groceries to make lunch for their children.” This seems to be gratuitously supporting the blamethe-victim mentality that is paving the way for the slashing of our social programs. Next, while mentally applauding Kids Klub for their generous work and the school district for its lunch program, I was stopped by the underlying questions: Why are there so many hungry school-age children in Victoria? And what about the parents and younger siblings? Aren’t they hungry, too? Why are they hungry?” Yates said she blames worsening economic times and unemployment (along with the above-mentioned parents on welfare). And yes, those are symptoms of something going wrong. But what’s the cause? We need to restructure our society so that it is for the 100 per cent. For all of us – we shouldn’t be split into the top 10 per cent and the bottom 90 per cent. There is enough for everyone, if we care enough. I give thanks to the People’s Assembly in Centennial Square for caring. They are peacefully standing up (or camping out) for the need for change. Sumitra McMurchy Victoria
The idea is good but the application needs work! Ulrike Locklin Victoria
Protests are against wealth concentration, not hard workers Re: Nothing wrong with rewarding hard workers (Letters, Oct. 21). The letter writer asks what’s wrong with a system that rewards hard-working entrepreneurs who end up employing thousands of people, and he’s right: hard work deserves rewards. What critics of the current system decry, however, is the concentration of wealth at the top, not the fact that anyone has wealth at all. Owning a spacious home, eating well and providing a secure future for your family are all signs of wealth. Owning a yacht, driving a $75,000 car and flashing
diamonds are signs of grandeur. They are not necessities, and their absence shouldn’t be an impediment to a go-getter. Innovative thinkers such as Steve Jobs or Jim Pattison thrive on success, not on promises of ostentatious selfaggrandizement; raising their tax rate to bring everyone else up a bit wouldn’t steer them away from business exploits that employ many. What is sinisterly implicit in arguments against increased parity of wealth is the assertion that millionaires have earned every cent through superhuman effort and the poor have earned their sad lot through unparalleled laziness. Neither is true: most needy people have worked extremely hard their whole lives, and many wealth-hoarders are rich through questionable business ethics, greed, and luck. R. Bernardi Victoria

A United Nations consuming more than 80 per report, The State of World Popcent of the world’s resources. ulation 2011, concludes that
even zero population growth won’t have a huge impact on global warming. So, is there any good news? Well, population growth is coming down. According to the UN report, the average number of children per woman has gone from six to 2.5 over the past 60 years. Research shows the best way to stabilize and reduce population growth is through greater protection and respect for women’s rights, better access to birth control, widespread education about sex and reproduction, and redistribution of wealth. But wealthy conservatives who overwhelmingly identify population growth as the biggest problem are often the same people who oppose measures that may slow the rate of growth. This has been especially true in the U.S., where corporate honchos and the politicians who support them fight against environmental protection and against sex education and better access to birth control. Population, environmental, and social-justice issues are inextricably linked. Giving women more rights over their own bodies, providing equal opportunity for them to participate in society, and making education and contraception widely available will help stabilize population growth and create numerous other benefits. Reducing economic disparity – between rich and poor individuals and nations – will lead to better allocation of resources. But it also shows that confronting serious environmental problems will take more than just slowing population growth.

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community
From left to right: approximately 3,000 birds are banded by volunteers from the Rocky Point Bird Observatory each year; Olympian Simon Whitfield warms up runners participating in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run at the Victoria Marathon, the primary fundraiser for KidSport Greater Victoria; Helen Simpson, the late co-founder of the Family Caregivers Network, is seen here with her daughter Pat; amphibian biologist Kristiina Ovaska taking samples for the Salt Spring Island Conservancy (this photo by Robin Annschild). These four non-profit organizations are among 15 participating in the 75-Hour Giving Challenge Nov. 15 – 18.
Victoria Foundation to host 75-Hour Giving Challenge to support 15 local charities It’s a 75 for 75 event: in celebration of its 75th anniversary, the Victoria Foundation is putting up $75,000 and hosting a 75-Hour Giving Challenge to help 15 local charities increase their endowment funds. For 75 hours starting on National Philanthropy Day, Nov. 15, all donations made to the foundation for any of these charities will be further supported through the Victoria Foundation’s $75,000 Challenge Fund. While most people think of the Victoria Foundation as a charity that provides grants to non-profit organizations in the community (which it does via its Victoria Fund endowment), few realize the foundation also manages endowment funds on behalf of other registered charities. In fact, it manages 103 endowment funds for 73 registered charities, annually distributing earnings from these permanent funds to the organizations. “These Hosted Organization Funds provide a consistent source of funding year after year for local charitable organizations,” says Sandra Richardson, CEO of the Victoria Foundation. “It’s a service that reduces costs and paperwork for the non-profits involved and – perhaps most impor-
tantly – it offers long-term stability for their funds.” To give a boost to the smallest of the funds, the 75-Hour Giving Challenge will support hosted organizations whose endowment funds were less than $75,000 as of May 31 this year. From 9 a.m. Nov. 15 to noon, Nov. 18, donors are encouraged to choose from the 15 participating charities and support their favourites by making gifts to the organizations’ endowment funds. Based on how much is given to each fund during the challenge, the foundation will also make a gift of a pro-rated amount from the $75,000 Challenge Fund. Gifts can be made online through the Victoria Foundation’s portal at CanadaHelps (see the “donate now” button at www.victoriafoundation.bc.ca). They can also be made directly to the Victoria Foundation by credit card or cheque as long as they are received during the challenge period. Publicly traded securities can also be accepted. See www. victoriafoundation.bc.ca for more information on the 75-Hour Giving Challenge. Call 250-381-5532 for information.
Challenge Participants The 15 eligible organizations that are rising to the 75-Hour Giving Challenge are: Family Caregivers Network – Offers education, support and information to help keep family caregivers healthy in their caring roles. Greater Victoria Dance Works Association – Produces an annual dance festival with three different components: competition, performance and master classes. Horticulture Centre of the Pacific – Enriches the community by sharing the beauty and joy of gardening and by demonstrating the importance of plant diversity through education, demonstration, stewardship and community partnerships. KidSport Greater Victoria – Ensure that kids from low-income families can participate in sports by assisting with registration fees for a “season of sport.” Pacific Centre Family Services Association – Provides education, counselling and creative program-
ming to encourage healthy patterns of living. Pacific Salmon Foundation – Supports grassroots, volunteer and community-driven projects focused on the conservation and recovery of Pacific salmon. Rocky Point Bird Observatory – Monitors bird populations and provides community education, public presentations and events such as International Migratory Bird Day. Saanich Volunteer Services Society – Provides non-medical services that help Saanich residents live independently. Salt Spring Island Conservancy – Helps the community preserve natural habitats on Salt Spring Island and in surrounding waters through public education and by holding conservation covenants. Together Against Poverty Society – Provides free, face-to-face legal advocacy for people regarding income assistance, disability benefits and tenancy issues. Victoria Cool Aid Society – Provides a wide range of services for
You have 75 hours to make a difference, Victoria. Are you up for the challenge? From 9:00 a.m. Nov. 15 to noon Nov. 18, you’re invited to help celebrate the Victoria Foundation’s 75th anniversary.

“I lived in France twice. I studied fine art there and I sold a number of pieces in France and quite a few in the States, and back east – it’s pretty exciting,” she said. She also finds art is a great way to reach out and help others. “If something stirs my compassion, I’ll often participate in fundraising events. I’ve done a number of events that were international for the Red Cross for Japan and Africa. All the time the arts community shows support in that way.” Betts studied in Japan for six months and uses a variety of techniques, stitching and natural dyes to create her work. “I still weave a lot of silk scarves, but my students are into tea towels,” she said.

Author explores women’s role in Canada’s history Merna Forster authors second historical book Rudy Haugeneder News staff
Her first bestselling non-fiction book says it all – 100 Canadian Heroines, Famous and Forgotten Faces. The just-released sequel, 100 more Canadian Heroines, by Oak Bay professional historian Merna Forster, also looks to become a bestseller. These weren’t just ordinary women – weren’t, because all but three have died – but women whose roles in building the nation’s business and culture are no different than the roles men played. However, recorded history has been unkind to women, with history books having all but ignored them, she said. “Not enough women have been commemorated in Canadian history,” she complains. And she’s not alone. That’s why Kim Campbell, Canada’s first woman Prime Minister (a fact not remembered by many Canadians), wrote a glowing foreword in Forster’s first book, and Canadian female astronaut Julie Payette did the same in the 100 more sequel. And there are several hundred great women in Forster’s research files for yet another sequel she is thinking about writing. Some might say Forster is intent on bringing gender balance to the way Canadian political, business, sports, and science history is treated. Perhaps the best way to explain

what Forster (a former senior federal Parks Canada bureaucrat who is the executive director of the University of Victoria’s Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History project) is in the astronaut Payette’s forward, which begins: “Can you imagine running a 100metre dash, starting 20 metres behind the other competitors, and remaining convinced that you can win the gold medal? Picture yourself climbing Mount Everest in a skirt, chances of making it to the summit and back safely and as good as anybody else? “And how do you maintain steadfast belief that you can finish at the top of your pilot-training class even though the standard issue flight gear does not fit and you need a telephone book behind your back just to reach the rudder pedals? “These are the kinds of images that come to mind reading the stories of the exceptional women Merna Forster introduces. … “Defying probabilities and presumptions, the women featured here have managed to follow their passions and fulfill their ambitions, even if it meant shaking up the prevailing social order.” Forster, born in the Alberta oil town of Black Diamond and the married mother of two teenagers who moved to Oak Bay seven years ago, says, “I always wanted to be a writer.” Her basic writing rule: “make sure I tell a compelling story.” She says she put as much diversity as possible into her books, selecting women from across the country covering many time periods, ethnic origins, and a wide variety of endeavors “so a person picking up the book could relate.” The bilingual Forster, who has

a masters degree in history from Laval University in Quebec, said her book of brief biographies covers “fascinating” women ranging from those with a lifetime of achievement to others with just one enormously important accomplishment.
“I wanted to understand what made them tick and how they worked,” she said. Being a bestselling Canadian author doesn’t mean much in terms of royalties. The money just barely covers the cost of the images she uses in her book, like the photo of Anna Swan, the eight-foot-tall Canadian who survived her disability. Purchasing the one-time right to use her image cost $150.

MORE ARTS LISTINGS IN BRIEF
Royal Theatre presents Entity dance show
Entity, the latest show in the Dance Victoria season at the Royal Theatre, is presented this weekend in two shows. Performed by Wayne McGregor Random Dance, straight from the U.K., Entity will be performed tonight (Friday) and Saturday. The piece is set to an electronic soundscape. Tickets ($25 to $72) are available at rmts.bc.ca or at the Royal or McPherson Box Offices.
Langham Court plays dark comedic tale
The Langham Court Theatre sets the scene for deception and betrayal with its production of the black comedy The Beauty Queen of Leenane. The darkly comic tale centres on Maureen Folan, a 40-year-old virgin, and her manipulative 70-yearold mother, Mag. Maureen, who has a history of mental illness, is trapped in a small, bleak cottage and in an overly dependent, seriously dysfunctional relationship with her mother, who interferes in her daughter’s only chance at love.
Irish playwright Martin McDonagh’s Tony Award-winning show will be directed by Langham Court veteran Judy Treloar. The Beauty Queen of Leenane, part of the Leenane Trilogy, is set in the 1980s in and around County Galway, where playwright McDonagh spent his holidays as a child. The cast includes Elizabeth Whitmarsh as Mag; Naomi Simpson as Maureen, the desperate virgin; Bill Adams, as Pato, the awkward suitor and newcomer Paul Wiebe as Ray, Pato’s younger brother. McDonagh’s first non-Irish play, The Pillowman, set in a fictitious totalitarian state, won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2004. McDonagh’s film Six Shooter, won the Live Action Short Subject Oscar in 2006. He is perhaps best known to world-wide audiences for his multi award-winning screenplay of the crime comedy, In Bruges. The show previews Nov. 16 and opens Nov. 17, running through Dec. 3. Tickets are $19 for adults, $17 for students and seniors. Preview night, they are two for $20. To buy, call 250-384-2142 or email boxoffice@langhamtheatre.ca.
War-time musical hits play at military tribute A big-band tribute to past and present Canadian Forces personnel gets into the swing of things during a special time of remembrance. Jazz vocalist Miranda Sage will join the Swiftsure Big Band to perform songs from the Second World War era and beyond on Nov. 12, the day after Remembrance Day ceremonies. “This is our tribute to all those who served, or now serve, in the armed forces of this country,” said artistic director and conductor Rob Bannister, who will direct the 18-piece band. “We hope this music will add a positive counterbalance to the other serious events on this weekend.” The show starts at 8 p.m. at Pacific Fleet Club, 1587 Lyall St. in Esquimalt. Tickets are $20, and are available at Long & McQuade, Tom Lee Music, Sidney Musicworks and at the door. emccracken@vicnews.com

Oak Bay poised for run at B.C.’s Injured Claremont bow out of B.C. challenge game Travis Paterson News staff
Maddie Secco scores most of Oak Bay High’s goals so it was fitting the star field hockey player managed the only goal of the Island final at the Cowichan Sportsplex on Saturday. Oak Bay won the Island championship over Frances Kelsey secondary school 1-0. Both teams are off to provincials at Kelowna secondary, Nov. 9 to 11. Secco’s winning goal came off a rebound on a short corner just a couple of minutes into the game. “Oak Bay had a lot of possession in the final but couldn’t get any more goals, it was a really exciting game,” Oak Bay co-coach Kira Graham said. Frances Kelsey provided the toughest competition for Oak Bay troughout the tournament. Oak Bay started the Island tourney with wins over Mount Doug on Thursday and Dover Bay on Friday, before tying Frances Kelsey 1-1 in “horrible weather” on Friday morning. It set up a semifinal against Cowichan, which Oak Bay won 3-0, while Frances Kelsey beat Claremont 3-1 in the other semifinal. Claremont roared back to defeat Cowichan 2-1 in the third place game and book a spot in a challenge game versus a mainland team this week for the final spot at provincials. Oak Bay’s chances of winning
Clipper trouble Wes Myron at World Jr. A tourney
provincials rest on the shoulders of Secco, a Grade 12 student who scores about 90 per cent of the team’s goals and assists on most of the others, Graham said. Secco has been training with the national team since she was 16 and will play for the prestigious Stanford University hockey team next year on a full ride scholarship. “Of course, our success relies on the whole team but our team tactics are also built around Secco’s skill level,” Graham said. Without official scoresheets on hand, Graham conservatively estimated Secco tallied a dozen goals at the Islands, including a fourgoal game followed by a three-goal game. “Secco has extremely good stickhandling and has the speed to beat other players. All of our strategy is around her, the players understand that.” Graham is a former UBC Thunderbird and is focused on the team’s offence, while University of Victoria Vikes rookie Kathleen Leahy, who graduated from Oak Bay last year, leads the team’s defensive strategy. Secco isn’t the only national level player on Oak Bay. Grade 11 student Gillian Kirkpatrick (U16 national) is also a big part of the team’s success. The team is anchored by rookie Katie Hansen in net. Despite not having played hockey while growing up, Hansen’s figured the position out, Graham said.
Claremont yield to injuries Claremont had just one spare on the sidelines during the first day of
It’s all laughs now, but a month ago the Victoria Grizzlies’ dressing room wasn’t a place for happy banter. The Grizzlies (9-8) are on the road this weekend for another three-games-in-three-nights against conference opponents: tonight (Nov. 4) versus the Surrey Eagles (8-4-2), Saturday at the Langley Rivermen (5-10) and Sunday at the Coquitlam Express (5-6-2). Despite losing to the Nanaimo Clippers 7-3 on Tuesday, Victoria’s still on a roll with nine wins in

the Island championships, and just two heading into the weekend. Then the inevitable happened. With three players injured, Claremont had to forfeit their spot in Wednesday’s (Nov. 2) challenge game versus Chilliwack, giving it to Cowichan, said teacher sponsor Pam Moore. Included on Claremont’s injury reserve is co-captain Rosie Beale, a
Grade 12 student who is on crutches this week with a swollen knee. It’s a tough way for her, as well as cocaptain Annie Walters-Shumka and other Grade 12s on the team to end their high school playing careers, Moore said. “(Getting third at Islands) was a great achievement for a team that was unexpected to get that far,” she said. “It’s really sad, but we just don’t have the depth. The girls were not very happy when I told them we had to cancel.” Defeating Cowichan, an annual powerhouse in B.C., was a thrill for Claremont, who haven’t been to provincials for four years. sports@vicnews.com
the past 12 games. It’ll take more than a hangup with a rival team to shake the Grizzlies, said coach Len Barrie. ■ Following his tour of NCAA schools last week, Grizzlies forward Wes Myron committed to the Boston University Terriers for next season. Myron received a full ride scholarship from Boston, one of 13 schools that made him offers. He’ll join Massachusetts import Mike Moran, who’s also headed there in 2012, and ex-Grizzlies forward Justin Courtnall, now a third-year player
and assistant captain with the Terriers. It was also announced this week that Myron made Team Canada West for the upcoming World Junior A Challenge, Nov. 7 to 13 in Langley. Myron is a late addition and was not invited to the summer selection camp. He potted two goals in an exhibition game on Monday and an assist on Tuesday.

Kevin Sundher followed up the announcement of his inclusion in the 2011 Super Series with an explosive sixgoal weekend. The Royals’ assistant captain will play for Team WHL versus Team Russia in Regina on Wednesday, Nov. 16. It’s the fifth of six games between CHL teams and Team Russia, which will conclude Thursday, Nov. 17 in Moose Jaw. The announcement came last Thursday (Oct. 27), and just may have sparked Sundher, as he exploded for six goals and one assist in two games against the Seattle Thunderbirds over the weekend. The Royals lost to the Thunderbirds in a 4-3 shootout on Friday and bounced back with a 7-3 win on Saturday at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Four of Sundher’s goals came in Saturday’s win, a five-point effort that pushed the assistant captain atop all WHL scorers with 11 goals and 21 assists for 32 points in 17 games.
